That really depends. Pegging your fixed timestep engine to rAF could have the consequence of dropping frames when you have a large gap between two frames and enough physics frames get called at once that the next rAF window gets missed. If

Well first it depends on what you mean by typically. Number of total engines in the wild? Or current market share? But besides, if you are using a fixed physics engine you should not be using rAF. It's not meant for that. Your comment

I don't understand how not writing your own physics engine automatically negates what I said. If a developer has implemented a third-party physics engine, they should refer to that engine's documentation.

To clarify, there's nothing wrong with tying your movement to requestAnimationFrame() and it is in fact encouraged, but you must modulate it by the frame delta.

My point is that it has to be sustainable. We don't have another option. It must be independently funded and have alternative revenue streams. A lot of people used to say Open Source wasn't sustainable. Red Hat, one of the most

The unfortunate reality is thus: The internet has created a zero-cost distribution platform, and "news" platforms which exploit irrational emotional responses in order to further an agenda will always exist. If quality news is gat

The premise wasn't that OP doesn't work with Java. OP's premise was that they won't even use applications that use Java. Which is basically everything.

Chances are such an update will not be cognitively registered for many of these consumers, who originally read that the camera would not function when signing up for the product. It's shady as shit no matter how you slice it.

Depends on which features matter to you. If you want an immersive content library like Plex, it's harder to find substitutes. If you just want a way to stream music and movies from your own server or home computer, with on-the-fly re-e

> TV Meters also come with a camera, but that camera isn’t used, and doesn’t collect data. I, too, like to add unnecessary sensors to devices which considerably increase their value, despite never using them.
